Welcome to Academy House
The Academy House Community Residence (AHCR) is a 21-bed residence located in the Hudson Valley within the historic district of Poughkeepsie, NY. We are licensed by the NY State Office of Mental Health and specialize in creating a healing environment for adults suffering from severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, schizo-affective disorder or severe depression. We provide a structured living environment with 24-hour supervision and medication management. We offer classes such as yoga, poetry and dance movement therapy. We are also proud to offer a daily vegan menu as an option to our Residents.
As proud members of ARTA, artausa.org, we are fortunate to have a large network of other programs available if it is determined that a different level of treatment is more suitable for you or your family member.
At AHCR, we believe every person can live a happy, productive and healthy life and that every individual has the ability to learn, grow and manage their illness. We treat all Residents with dignity and compassion, using every opportunity to increase their self-confidence, as they learn new and different ways to cope with the real world.
